While visiting Frederick a friend recommended Isabella's for dinner and we are so thankful for the recommendation. Isabella's is a vibrant restaurant that serves Spanish tapas, amazing sangria and a variety of paellas. We were glad we made reservations because the restaurant was busy in the dining area and the bar.Isabella's has evolving menus based on the season so there is always new and inventive food and drink choices. We started the evening we ordered a carafe of spiced pear sangria and a pumpkin spiced martini. Both were very tasty. We ordered the Paella a la Valenciana (shrimp, chicken, mussels, chorizo, and clams), Remolacha (roasted beets, feta and greens) and Datiles Rellenos (bacon wrapped dates stuffed with chorizo). The paella was amazing, full of seafood and enough to share between two people. Don't forget to try the the Datiles Rellenos which were three beautifully prepared and tastebud tantalizers that nearly cause us to order another round.The only thing that could have made this better would have been sitting at the bar and taking advantage of their $6 tapas happy hour. Well, there will be another trip to Isabella's in the near future!

We stopped by Isabellas's for breakfast on a Saturday morning since they had a nice menu and opened early for breakfast. Very cool atmosphere and pub environment and an amazing bar! We were quickly seated as they were not very busy at the time. After that, things seem to slow down significantly. It took about an hour to get our food from the time we ordered. When we did get our meals the presentation was nice, but the flavors were not what we expected. We tried the Tortilla de Patatas, which was ok, but nothing special. My wife ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy (and 2 eggs). The biscuits were very tough and gravy was ok. While breakfast was not the best, I would definitely try Isabellas for dinner because the plates of food being served to people on the patio looked amazing.

Listen, this was my first time there. The food and service gave me hope that the fine dinning experience has not gone!I am not long winded, but everything we ordered came out hot fresh, great presentation, there was enough food left over to take home. And you know what they say about food tasting better the second day.Isabella's did not disappoint! I would highly recommend them to family and friends. Coach Owens

Nearly five star setting and food (nice patio on a sunny Sunday; only drawback was the exceptionally loud car and motorcycle noise), good tapas choices, but unfortunately 3 star service (long long wait; spotty; inattentive; once ordered our food we waited for an hour, even for a simple two eggs, standard breakfast plate).Mussels are good (spicy sauce, special)Crab cake on artichoke is artfully presented, deliciousProsciutto e Melone is refreshing and tasty

Came back to Isabellas after yeaaaars this time for tapas/dinner and not disappointed at all. We came in on a Tuesday night and there was ample space. We ordered a few different things to share amongst 3 people. I got the Flirtini drink which I enjoyed a lot. We got the fried manchego cheese, fried asparagus spears, brussel sprouts with capers and walnuts, papas fritas,albondigas(beef meatballs) and bacon wrapped dates (this one I did not try).Everything was delicious but surprisingly my favorite thing was the fried manchego which went so well with the fig jam it came with. Service was nice, they were good to let us know when the kitchen would be closing in case we wanted to get some last minute items in.

I have eaten many, many, many fried chicken sandwiches during my life. Isabella's has the best one. They put something in the breading that makes it so peppery and flavorful. So good I had to eat half of it before I thought to take a photo. If you ever take this off the menu I'll cry.

Great food, service, and vibes. The tapas never miss the mark and are always scrumptious. My personal favorites are papas bravas, short rib sandwiches, bacon wrapped dates, and the sizzling shrimp.I tried two specials: a wild mushroom risotto and crab with cream cheese and sriracha on a crostini. Both were good. The risotto didn't have a strong mushroom flavor but was very creamy and rich.Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and told us she would stagger our orders so they didn't come out at the same time. This helped prevent the table from getting too crowded.

I've been to Isabella's twice now, once for dinner and once for brunch. I have enjoyed almost everything I've ordered. They seat you quickly, the servers are polite, and they have a great cocktail menu. The interior is a bit dated but that's not a deal breaker to me.I ordered a pork chop at dinner and when it was taking too long the chef sent us some bacon wrapped dates for free.
